- Protects CV joints from moisture and debris
- Keeps CV joints lubricated
- Needs to be replaced when cracked or punctured
Your Nissan CV (constant velocity) joints send power from the transmission to the wheels. Usually located at either end of your driveshafts, they accommodate the movement of your suspension system and give the wheels the torque required to turn.
Each CV joint is guarded by a boot. CV boots help stop debris from getting into the joints while also ensuring the joints remain lubricated. When one of your CV boots is broken or worn, you will need to replace it with a Nissan CV Joint Boot Kit. A bad CV boot can expose your CV joint to external elements and cause premature joint failure.
CV joints are made to survive a long time, but they face a lot of wear and tear from road debris. Some of the most common causes of CV boot damage are heat, punctures, and severe friction. If a CV boot tears or cracks, you may note grease on the wheels or slight vibrations while driving. Unfortunately, CV boot damage might not be noticeable until it's already affected the CV joints. Try to check your boots once a year or more often if you drive on tough terrain or go off-roading.
Replacing your CV boot with a CV Joint Boot Kit the moment you recognize an issue can help you save on repairs later. A replacement Nissan CV Joint Boot Kit has what you need to help ensure your CV joints stay protected, including the clamp, CV boot, and grease. With the correct tools and know-how, a CV boot can be replaced at home. You can also order a Nissan CV Joint Boot Kit online, bring it and your vehicle to the nearest service center, and let a trained technician handle the replacement.
When it comes to crucial components like a CV Joint Boot Kit, you should make sure you have the correct product for your Nissan. Ordering genuine OEM parts can help you find the best fit for your model and year.
